Title: Lorentz Invariance in Generic Curved Spacetimes and Quantum Gravity 
Speaker: Prof. Hoi-Lai Yu (Academia Sinica Institute of Physics) 
Time: 3:00 pm Sep. 27th (Thur.), 2018 
Place: 319 Theoretical Physics Division 

Abstract: The speaker will start from the basic one test particle motion in general curved spacetime to examine the natural of Lorentz symmetry which had been mis-interpret since Minkowski. He will also discuss the step towards a consistent quantum gravity program.
